Parameters
- -filtervalue attribute=value
- (Optional) Specifies a list of one or more filters. Only objects with a value that matches the filter attribute value are returned. If a capacity is specified, the units must also be included.
- Note: Some filters allow the use of a wildcard when you enter the command. The following rules apply to the use of wildcards when using the CLI:
- The wildcard character is an asterisk (*).
- The command can contain a maximum of one wildcard.
- When using a wildcard, you must enclose the filter entry within
double quotation marks (""), as follows:
lseventlog -filtervalue "object_name=ob*"
- -nohdr
- (Optional) By default, headings are displayed for each column of data in a concise style view,
and for each item of data in a detailed style view. The -nohdr parameter
suppresses the display of these headings.Note: If there is no data to be displayed, headings are not displayed.
- -delim delimiter
- (Optional) By default in a concise view, all columns of data are space-separated. The width of each column is set to the maximum possible width of each item of data. In a detailed view, each item of data has its own row, and if the headers are displayed, the data is separated from the header by a space. The -delim parameter overrides this behavior. Valid input for the -delim parameter is a one-byte character. If you enter -delim : on the command line, the colon character (:) separates all items of data in a concise view; for example, the spacing of columns does not occur. In a detailed view, the data is separated from its header by the specified delimiter.
- -alert yes | no
- (Optional) Includes (or excludes) events with alert status.
- -message yes | no
- (Optional) Includes events with message status.
- -monitoring yes | no
- (Optional) Includes events with monitoring status.
- -expired yes | no
- (Optional) Includes (or excludes) events with expired status.
- -fixed yes | no
- (Optional) Includes (or excludes) events with fixed status.
- -config yes | no
- (Optional) Includes (or excludes) events with config status.
- -count entry_limit
- (Optional) Indicates the maximum number of events to display.
- -order date | severity
- (Optional) Indicates what order the events
should be in. Ordering by date displays the oldest
events first. Ordering by severity displays the events with the highest
severity first. If multiple events have the same severity, then they
are ordered by date, with the oldest event being displayed first. The following list shows the order of severity, starting with the most severe:
- Unfixed alerts (sorted by error code; the lowest error code has the highest severity)
- Unfixed messages
- Monitoring events (sorted by error code; the lowest error code has the highest severity)
- Expired events
- Fixed alerts and messages
- -filtervalue?
- (Optional) Displays a list of valid filter attributes for the -filtervalue
attribute=value parameter:
- copy_id
- error_code
- event_count
- event_id
- fixed
- last_timestamp
- object_id
- object_name
- object_type
- report_node
- reporting_node_name
- root_sequence_number
- sequence_number status
- sequence_number
- (Optional) Indicates if the command should display a full view of the event.
Description
This command displays a concise view of the system event log, or a detailed view of one entry from the log. You can sort the events and entries by severity or age.
The default values for included
events are:
- alert=yes
- config=no
- expired=no
- fixed=no
- message=yes
- monitoring=no
Table 1 provides
the attribute values that can be displayed as output view data.
Attribute | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
machine_type | Node machine type and model number | The value is an alphanumeric string up to 7 characters long. |
serial number | Node serial number | The value is an alphanumeric string up to 7 characters long. |
sequence_number | Sequence number of the event | The value is numeric from 0 to 8000000. |
first_timestamp | When the event was added to the log | The value is in the format YYMMDDHHMMSS. |
first_timestamp_epoch | When the event was added to the log (in seconds) after the epoch occurs | This is a numeric 32-bit value. |
last_timestamp | When the event was most recently updated | The value is in the format YYMMDDHHMMSS. |
last_timestamp_epoch | Most recent update (in seconds) after an epoch for an event | This is a numeric 32-bit value. |
fixed_timestamp | Time stamp when event is fixed | The value is in the format YYMMDDHHMMSS. |
fixed_timestamp_epoch | Time stamp (in seconds) when an event is fixed after an epoch occurs | The value is a numeric string. |
fru | Field-replaceable unit (FRU) for error or event; this field contains probable FRUs (separated by commas) | The value is an ASCII string up to 255 characters long. |
object_type | The type of the object the event is logged against | The values are:
|
object_id | ID of the object the event is logged against | This is a numeric 64-bit value. It is displayed
in decimal for all object types other than clustered systems. For a clustered system, this value is hexadecimal but is blank for events with cluster object types. |
object_name | Name of the object the event is logged against. | This value is the object name format and is blank if the object was deleted or does not have a name |
copy_id | Volume copy ID the event is logged against | This is a numeric value 0 to 1; it is blank if not a vdiskcopy event |
reporting_node_id | ID of the node that reported the event | This is a numeric 64-bit value that is blank if the event is reported by the clustered system |
reporting_node_name | Name of the node that reported the event. | This value is the object name format and is blank if node is deleted or event is reported by the clustered system |
root_sequence_number | Sequence number of the root or causal event Important: If the event is directly caused by another
event then the sequence_number of the related event is shown here.
|
This is a numeric value from 1 to 8000000; blank if there is no root or if the event is not directly caused by another event |
event_count | Number of reported events that have been combined into this event | This is a numeric 32-bit value. |
status | Event category | The values are:
|
fixed | Indicates whether the event was marked fixed (for an alert) or read (for a message) | The values are:
|
auto_fixed | Indicates if event is marked fixed by the code | The values are:
|
notification_type | Type of event notification | The values are:
|
event_id | Event ID | This is a 6-digit numeric value. |
event_id_text | Description associated with the event ID | This is a text value with a maximum of 200 bytes. This appears in CLI requested language. |
error_code | Error code associated with this event | This is a 4-digit numeric value but is blank if there is no error code. |
error_code_text | Description associated with the error code | This is a text value with a maximum of 200 bytes
that is blank if there is no error code. This appears in CLI requested language. |
description | Description associated with the event If the event has an error code, this value is the same as the error_code_text field; otherwise, it is the same as the event_id_text field |
Text (maximum of 200 bytes). |
callhome_type | The type of Call Home associated with the event. | The values are hardware, software, and none. |
sense1 | Sixteen bytes of hex-encoded sense data; least significant byte is on the left | The value is sixteen two-character hexadecimal numbers separated by spaces. |
